Epilogue. And now the tale is truly done. Many thanks to everyone who has read and/or reviewed the story. I hope it's been as enjoyable to read as it (mostly) was to write.

A visit to the Tower of Ecthelion in Minas Tirith compels Frodo to return to the Tower of Cirith Ungol, accompanied by the King and the remaining members of the Fellowship. While Frodo struggles to recover lost or unclear memories, many of his companions find themselves making discoveries they did not expect. This story is based in book-verse, with bits of movie-verse interwoven at the author’s discretion. Angst/drama, but (being me) there's enough hobbity lightness to balance things out.

I suppose you could say this is something like my own edition of Unfinished Tales, full of story fragments and character studies that really don't go much of anywhere, but involved too much work and thought for me to just delete them and be done with it. Until now they've been simply gathering virtual dust in the depths of my computer files, but now I bring them out into the light of day in the hopes that someone might enjoy them.

**COMPLETE**The story of the families of Merry, Pippin, Frodo and Sam as they face the troubles of the Occupation of the Shire. Although there are some AU items, the effort is made to include all of the events occuring in the Shire that Tolkien mentions happening during this time and to have all original events be consistant with canon.

Rating for wreckless drinking. It is Yule, 1423, and the Tooks are spending the holiday in Buckland at Brandy Hall. The month previous, the Knights of Rohan and Gondor returned home from their duties abroad…bringing back a small souvenir from the Houses of Healing. In this story, the botanist and alchemist come together, but for different purposes.

His father named him "wanderer"; but everyone called him Pippin. He was the youngest Companion of the Fellowship of the Ring, an innocent and foolish lad who walked heedlessly into legend. Twelve years after the War of the Ring, feeling trapped by responsibilities he doesn't want, Peregrin Took struggles with a restlessness he can no longer deny. Now, traveling amidst the vast and unexplored vistas of Far Harad, caught up in a war against a tyrannical Magician and the quest for a legendary Jewel
